Was Qin Shi Huang a good leader of Ancient China ?

Question 1 ) Who was Qin Shi Huang ?

 Qin Shi Huang was the king of the Chinese State of Qin from 246 BC to 221 BC during the Warring States Period .


Question 2 ) What did he do as a leader ?

 In his 35-year reign,  he managed to create magnificent and enormous construction projects . Also caused both incredible cultural , intellectual growth and much destruction within China .


Question 3 ) Examine his personality

 He was a cruel person and he showed as he excecuted and no mercy to people who opposed his rules . When he was twenty one years old , he learn more things than his mentors . He sleep late and rose early in the morning . By this , he was very powerful too because he had constructed on a large wall that link up bits and pieces of existing defensive walls throughout the country .


Question 4 ) Examine his method of government

Qin Shi Huang ' s aim was to bring China to be undered a single , central rule . To do this , he removed most of the power of feudal shi and tear down their forts and as well as their lands . The empire was divided into provinces each under Qin Shi Huang 's control and a military governor  in charge of an army , a civilian governor in charge of everyday matters and lastly an inspector who watched over the two governors . Qin Shi Huang was also infamous for his cruelty . He enforced strict laws and showed no mercy . If a person who break the law will be exceuted . Also , to those who opposed Qin Shi Huang ' s new laws will be killed .


Question 5 ) Examine how he was influenced by the philosophy of Legalism .

 Qin Shi Huang was buried with more than 7500 unique terracotta warriors and clay statues of the warriors were made too .

Question 6 ) Examine how he controlled his people
 He succeeded it by molding the people to become more similar , to build massively . To conquer more territory , but people grew to hate him and he became paranoid about assassination and death . And his family and court ended in killings and death .


Question 7  ) Examine what he diid with the Great wall Of China .

The Great Wall of China was built over 2,000 years ago by Qin Shi Huang . After subjugating and uniting China from seven Warring States, the emperor connected and extended four old fortification walls along the north of China that originated about 700 B.C. . Armies were stationed along the wall as a first line of defense against the invading nomadic Hsiung Nu tribes north of China .


I think Qin Shi Huang can be good or bad leader of Ancient China . He is a good leader because when he  was twenty one years old , he learn more things than his mentors . He sleep late and rose early in the morning . He is a bad leader because if some one breaks or opposed his laws , he will get them right away executed . Thus , his makes people to hate him and unfollow their rules .

Reflection Time :D

i think many version of History can be written . The strengths is that we all tried to do the project and the weaknesses is that we are sometimes quite lazy to do the project . On emperor Qin Shi Huang. we went to look for answers in the website of google

- Kit :)

nope . to me , History can be written in many many versions . our strengths was that we could find the correct infomation we wanted . the weaknesses is that this project was done by me . Kit's reflection is i asked from her so that means both of us did this project . the problems we faced is that there is many different informations , different answers . so , we need to sort it out and find the best answers .
